Big thanks to the homie Kirin for hooking us up with this look into dub's influences on punk and post-punk in the UK and US. Her mix traces the movement of dub sounds (i.e. echo, low end bass, etc.) across the Atlantic during the 60s, 70s, and 80s. As British and American artists and musicians began to interact with the music of King Tubby, Toots and the Maytals, Lee "Scratch" Perry, et al, so too did their styles and creative processes. This produced a sound that blends the downtempo and atmospheric beats of dub with punk and post-punk's energy and dissonance--a sound that is both rhythmic/open and bursting at the seams:
